Usually a big fan, but I went to pickup an order recently and was just told “we’re really backed up” and to pull ahead. I eventually had to leave, and the app finally updated that my order was ready 40 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. Not 40 minutes after I ordered. 40 minutes after pickup time. Reached out for a refund and heard nothing. I’ve enjoyed dining inside in the past, but I might rethink next time.

Sitting in the restaurant waiting for 40 minutes and still in the prepping mode. Terrible

Location change was not ideal in my own personal opinion. (I understand that if it needed to be done and hands were tied and something at corporate was out of anyone's local control well then there's nothing that can be done.) The first location on main street was much better such as giving the customer a more comfortable "homier" inviting feeling with more room for seating, more ambient lighting, and overall it was quieter. The second location now looks like everything else; a loud overly bright reduced space that resembles a congested cafeteria. I felt the quality of customer service and availability of menu items were better once upon a time as well but that has been everywhere for the past 5+ years and not exclusive to Panera. Food is tasty. I'm still a return customer to the company, not necessarily to that specific franchised location, but will go back if I'm in the area and need a panera fix. Overall I'm still thankful that it's in WB and didn't leave the area entirely.

Stood in line thurs. a.m. for 15 minutes. Nobody was at the register. They also ran out of 3 coffee selections. This happens very often. Not planning on visiting this location anytime soon again.
